OpenComet: An automated tool for comet assay image analysis
Reactive species such as free radicals are constantly generated in vivo and DNA is the most important target of oxidative stress. Oxidative DNA damage is used as a predictive biomarker to monitor the risk of development of many diseases. The comet assay is widely used for measuring oxidative DNA damage at a single cell level. The analysis of comet assay output images, however, poses considerabl...
متن کاملAn Automated Image Analysis System to Measure and Count Organisms in Laboratory Microcosms
1. Because of recent technological improvements in the way computer and digital camera perform, the potential use of imaging for contributing to the study of communities, populations or individuals in laboratory microcosms has risen enormously. However its limited use is due to difficulties in the automation of image analysis. 2. We present an accurate and flexible method of image analysis for ...
متن کاملBacterial growth on surfaces: automated image analysis for quantification of growth rate-related parameters.
A fast routine method for estimating bacterial cell growth rates by using the metachromatic dye acridine orange is described. The method allows simultaneous estimates of cellular RNA and DNA contents of single cells. Acridine orange staining can be used as a nonspecific supplement to quantitative species-specific hybridizations with fluorescence-labelled ribosomal probes to estimate the single-...
متن کاملAutomated spatial and temporal image analysis of bacterial cell growth
The state-of-the-art technology using flow-chamber microscopy imaging enables us to gain insight into the arcana of bacterial cell growth. However, a large number of high resolution developmental image data sets are produced that need to be properly processed and analyzed. The mathematical challenge lies in the automated image analysis, extraction of cell size profiles and determination of the ...
متن کاملNovel Automated Method for Minirhizotron Image Analysis: Root Detection using Curvelet Transform
In this article a new method is introduced for distinguishing roots and background based on their digital curvelet transform in minirhizotron images. In the proposed method, the nonlinear mapping is applied on sub-band curvelet components followed by boundary detection using energy optimization concept. The curvelet transform has the excellent capability in detecting roots with different orient...
